Playing Soccer 4
From coast to coast, people love watching sports. A lot of men and women enjoy watching sports as a result of their competitive nature. The sports bring families together, in one room, cheering a team. Sometimes they cheer different teams, but still, they get together to enjoy the sport. One of the sport that families enjoy is basketball. When families gather together to watch basketball, they get happy.
Basketball starts at an young age. The players who excel at the professional level started off as little basketball players with Fisher Price hoops. When they grew up, they enrolled in a pee wee league. While playing within the pee wee league, their biggest fans were their mothers, fathers, older brothers and sisters, grandparents, etc. These little kids learned the virtue of teamwork and also other invaluable skills necessary for life. These skills are as a result, in the case, learned through a competitive sport.
In the event the kids grow up, they move to junior-high school. Once there, they sign up for the school's basketball team. That team turns out to be a lot more competitive than the pee wee team. Students on the team form a high amount of popularity and earn friends that other students within the school have no access to. In the event the game starts, each Friday night, students from all over the school crowd the gym and watch the beauty of the game. The game may start off slowly and continue into an uproarious, competitive battle. It may end up in a tight battle towards the finish line.
Once that game is tied, or within less than five points, throughout the final minute, spectators rise to their feet. Once they rise to their feet, they anxiously hope that their team stays ahead (fans of the winning team) or that their team rises up and over (fans of the presently losing team). This beauty is experienced on the physical level through crossings of the fingers and coverings of the eyes. On the internal level, adrenaline rises and heartbeats increase at rapid rates. The fans continue watching until the final buzzer sound.
When the final buzzer sound is heard, some spectators are happy as well as others are not. There isn't any arguing with the scorekeeper about extra points. Once the buzzer sounds, the outcome are final. The beauty in watching a basketball game in the final seconds is that one knows there is a limited quantity of time left in the game. They know that their team has one last chance to either hold on or make up the deficit. This beauty is unique to professional sports because in a sporting event once the clock runs out, it's out. Basketball is unique to other sports because a scoring play will be much easier than in football (America), safe soccer, or baseball. As a result, the probability of a lead change during the waning seconds is higher in basketball than in other sports. This makes basketball a beautiful sport to watch.
